Answer 1

Given :

• The present population of a town is 364500.
• The population increase at the rate of 8% every year.

To find :

• The population 2 years ago =?

Step-by-step explanation :

As We know that,

Present Population (P) = 364500

Rate (r) = 8%

Time (n) = 2 years

The population after "n" years,

P(1 - r/100)^n

•°• The population after two years,

= 364500(1 - 8/100)²

= 364500 × 92/100 × 92/100

= 364500 × 0.92 × 0.92

= 308512

Therefore, The population was two years ago = 308,512.

Answer 2

Answer:

Two years ago the population is 308512.
